Kickin' It

Back to the doctor’s office on Friday and after a brief reminder to Kandis about drinking more water, we were treated to the beautiful sounds of our baby. The heart beat was like music to my ear. Dr. Stokes did point out a peculiar sound during the examination. The sound was like a high volume and sharp tick. Dr. Stokes pointed it out. “You hear that sound?” he asked. “Yes what is it?” “That’s the sound of the baby kicking”. And WAS the baby kicking! I am so amazed at how active our baby is being. During the ultrasound there was sooooo much movement. When I come to bed and rub Kandis’ belly, I feel the baby moving all around… Just kickin’ it. It is such an amazing and miraculous feeling knowing that my child is moving around in my wife! I love it.

Being that Kandis is now 21 weeks the baby will have about a month or so of room to kick it. Then, as the baby grows, there will be less moving around. But still there will be the kicking.

Kandis says that she feels the baby all of the time. I guess I feel a little jealous of her because of that, but I will have a chance of kickin’ with the baby all of the time once our child is here. Until then, I’m just glad that my baby is alive and kicking.

Happy Birthday Mommy

What a day! What a birthday for Kandis. I tried to make the day special for my special wife and mother to be. It was a little difficult to keep all of the day’s plans a secret, but Kandis was pleasantly surprised.

The day started with me singing my birthday songs to Kandis. It was intentionally annoying to wake her up, but I wanted to entertain her as well. She knew about the Cavaliers game, but she had no idea about the other plans.

Once Kandis arrived home, I had her favorite cake for her along with two dozen roses.

Next it was off to the game. Little did Kandis know that I had passes to the Mercedes Benz Club and I arranged for a birthday message on the jumbo-tron. (That's right, all you can eat and all you can drink!)

It was Fan Appreciation Night at the Q, so we received a bag full of gifts and I “won” a few prizes during the game.

We both ate soooooo much and I enjoyed watching Kandis enjoying herself. I love Kandis so much and I wanted her to have a great birthday. (Her last one before the baby!)

So from me and the baby, we both want to say, “Happy Birthday Mommy”
